Quiet and relaxing home. Was a bit large for only two of us, but we loved the insect and bird sounds and star-filled skies at night. Pool is great and everything was as advertised. Randall was responsive and helpful.

The house is beautiful! It was comfortable and was just as described. Randall was responsive and addressed our concerns. We had a pleasant stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay on the hilo side.

The description about the house was accurate. There was an issue with the cleanliness of the bedding however it was addressed quickly by Randall. We appreciate the prompt communication. We would recommend the house to others.

What a charming, clean, spacious home with an incredible view. Randall serviced our every need and went out of his way to provide for us. Communication was always clear and prompt and full of Aloha. Will for sure come back!!

Beautiful house in a great location for exploring the north shore. Communication was very easy. The photos don't do justice to this lovely house!

Initially I was concerned about staying on the Hilo side of the island, but it was perfect. It was easy to get to other locations on the island and the home was perfect for me and my family. Especially enjoyed the screened in porch and the beauty sun rises over the ocean.

Everything was great! The house had absolutely everything you could ever need, the kitchen was fully loaded with every gadget/ tool needed to cook anything. Very comfortable bed- would highly recommend staying here. At times there was dogs barking at night but it was never too bad. Pool was very clean! Double thumbs up for this place!

This is a great, private location, outside the hustle and bustle of the city. Neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors dogs let you know when others are around. We loved the spot and would stay here again.

This was our first experience using AirBNB, and we feel we lucked out! Kelly and Roy were the most gracious and friendly hosts. They keep their home immaculately clean, and they were generous with their knowledge about the island. It was wonderful to wake up to a delicious breakfast and conversation! We had planned to drive all around the island, so we chose to stay in a quieter location away from noise and traffic. Since it was our first trip to Hawaii, we were grateful for the advice Kelly and Roy gave us about how to dress and what to bring for the various day trips we made. We appreciated being able to borrow beach supplies and use the washer and dryer. The Low Store, just a few houses away, is a hidden gem that offers basic supplies as well as a dining area featuring everyone's favorite, shave ice. Our only disappointment was that we had to leave! :) We made wonderful memories and hope to stay in touch. Mahalo.

Very nice place, clean and comfortable room. Kelly and Roy are so kind and the breakfast was fantastic!

We loved the high professionalism of these hosts. The location is great, really central and easy to get everywhere. The breakfast is the best that we have experienced on Hawaii. The room is very clean and tastefully decorated. The bed is very comfortable, my husband and I had a great night sleep. We would book this airbnb again.

Fantastic hosts and location on the Big Island. This was our first AirBNB stay and it far exceeded our expectations.

Kelly and Roy provided the best guest experience of the three different places we stayed on the Big Island during our trip. They made us feel welcome with a clean home, a beverage after a long drive, air conditioning (see room details), and great conversation. The breakfast was ready to eat and satisfying in the morning so that we could be on our way. We only wish we would have stayed longer to enjoy the ocean views from the large covered porch!

Kelly and Roy have extensive airbnb travel experience of their own so they really know how to make a great airbnb! The room and common areas were beautifully decorated and always clean, and the bed was very comfortable to sleep in. Great view, quiet, and close to a very scenic road along the coast and leading to the botanical garden. Kelly and Roy made us feel totally at home and we enjoyed getting to know them and hearing their travel stories and tips. And, like every other reviewer said, we definitely looked forward to breakfast each morning!

Kelly und Roy sind sehr sympathische und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Das Zimmer ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und sauber. Ich fühlte mich jederzeit willkommen und auch sehr wohl bei Kelly und Roy. Gerne jederzeit wieder. Vielen Dank für die tollen Tage.

สวัสดีค่ะ Roy and Kelly , ฉันเอง Jane and Max , ขอบคุณที่ทำให้เราได้พักบ้านหลังนี้ ขอบคุณที่ทำอาหารให้เราทานทุกวัน ขอบคุณที่ ใจดี ให้พวกเรายืม Snorkeling ขอบคุณมาก สำหรับ คำแนะนำ และมิตรภาพของคุณ หวังว่าเราคงได้พบกันอีก Maholo Jane and Max

Great host. The atmosphere is more "couchsurfing" than "Airbnb". The house is ok for this price.

I was super happy to be hosted by Ashish! He is such a great person. He was willing to show me around and spend time with me! You do sleep in a common area in his house, unless you decide to sleep in a hammock. If you have a animal allergie, check out that you have your medication on hand. He has lot of kitties, a dog and chicken , other ones stays outside :-)) Mahalo!!

Ashish is very welcoming and the animals are too. Nice space and great location. Stay here if you want the local experience-you will get it for sure!

Ashish was a generous host to us! Very friendly and accommodating! We had such a fun and lovely time with him and his beautiful animal family. Highly recommended for price and genuine company. The view and environment is one of a kind :P

Ashish is an incredibly kind and generous host. We loved playing with the other residents on the farm (especially the chickens). Overall, it was a fantastic stay !

Stay was awesome! The bugs ended up getting the best of us, but beautiful view, funny awesome dude, overall a groovey experience

Stunning views. Beautiful home and land. Amazing pool

Spectacular panoramic views of the ocean! A beautiful home, beautiful grounds, a fantastic swimming pool, and a great hostess!!! The studio slept six comfortably without feeling cramped. Fruit, coffee, and muffins were among some of the things available to us. Located about 10 minutes out of Hilo it was the perfect location for us to stay after visiting the volcano. We would highly recommend staying at this property and hope to stay there again ourselves in the near future. -Albany, Oregon

The view is amazing and the pool is beautiful!

Wonderful sunrise to wake up to. Roslyn had coffee, muffins, and local fresh fruit to start the day with.

Had a great stay at this house. Beautiful sunrise every morning and ocean views all day from the balcony.. Will definitely be back.

Easy to get to, very gracious hosts and everything you need right (EMAIL HIDDEN)fortable and beautiful yard!

Our week at Big Island Aloha was quite enjoyable. The photo of the view does not do it (URL HIDDEN) is very panoramic. The deck area is great for breakfast or just relaxing with great ocean views. The home was comfortable, quiet, and clean. George and Della greeted us warmly, answered any questions, and completely respected our privacy. Note the view in the picture is from the upstairs porch of the property, not the house seen in the picture.

Great comfortable place. Close to beach parks, downtown Hill. Awesome views from most rooms. We even watched whales from the porch.

Michelle and her husband were great hosts! Very kind, and communicative. The location of the rental is wonderful for exploring Hilo as it is super close to downtown, waterfalls, hikes and more! Enjoyed our short time so much, thanks again!

This house and property is so beautiful! It was the perfect location for our family vacation. Lots of room to comfortably accommodate large groups. Easy access to Hilo yet secluded enough to give a sense of privacy. The kitchen was excellent to cook home made meals in. Also a great location for stargazing!

This lovely property is remote, but what you get is privacy, serenity, great views (many rainbows!), a waterfall, and vast acres for roaming. The house is spacious--we five adults were quite comfortable--with very nice living areas and a large, well-stocked (if somewhat chaotic) kitchen. The property manager lives nearby; she is responsive and helpful. We were taken aback by the lack of curtains or shades in the master suite, and since we had hoped to barbecue, we were disappointed by the tiny portable charcoal grill.

Greated by a waving, clapping Kealani in traditional dress, the scene was set for a wonderful stay. The property is as beautiful as the pictures suggest and ideally located to nearby sites including Volcano National Park (40ish min easy drive) The home was immaculately presented with plenty of towels and a kitchen with all you could ask. Easy to grab supplies near the airport and head on up to relax on the amazing balcony. Everyone in our group loved our stay.

We had a wonderful time at Kapehu. Driving through the forest then seeing the house was a WOW moment. The location was perfect for exploring the east side of Hawaii. The house and property were extremely comfortable and well appointed. There was nothing like fresh fruit from the property for breakfast, a nap in the hammock after lunch and a dip in the hot tub before bed. The owners and property manager were very responsive and helpful. I hope to make it back some day.

An amazing value on a 5 star property. Super clean , well stocked and one of the nicest homes on the island. This serene ranch home was ideal for our local family to unwind between the sell of our home and a build. House itself inspiring and the area conveniently located to Hilo yet removed for the lush country experience. Looking forward to our next two stays! Mahalo nui Kate!

Breathtaking views of the ocean, farmland and rainbows in the morning. Very private. Cleaner and more modern than I'm used to seeing for Hawaii standards. Kate is very courteous and responsive.

We absolutely loved staying here! It was secluded enough, but also close enough to drive to places. The place was very well kept, clean, and beautiful. We loved having coffee outside every morning. We only had one day of full rain and didn't mind staying inside at all! Randall is very nice and was easy to get a hold of when we needed him. We would definitely stay here again.

This house is fantastic. It's in a very nice rural location but one block from a great coffee/smoothie shop. Quick and easy drive to Hilo. Very clean, great communication with the manager. Will stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

We loved what a quiet and beautiful sanctuary this home on 8 acres provided us. We spent a lot of time on the lanai just taking in the scenery or experiencing the rain from a dry and cozy spot. The house is new and very well appointed, open, airy, and tasteful. The fans and many sliding doors kept the house cool. You do have to be mindful of using the off-grid power, but that was not a problem and we liked that the house is self-sufficient. We hope to return to Sea Breeze; never wanted to leave. It's a great location close to Hilo, the Botanical gardens, and up the Hamakua coast with dramatic beaches and sweet cafes in little towns.

The sea breeze cottage is an amazing and unique place to stay. Being completely off the grid is a cool experience but don't be fooled, it has all the modern convenience you would expect and more. The cottage is more spacious than it appears in the pictures and the appliances are top notch LG and Samsung. Randall also had some nice recommendations on things to do that worked out nicely. We throughly enjoyed our stay!

Very well maintained beautiful home. Cool breeze through the home even in June. Randall was an excellent host who communicated well and was very accommodating. The home was spotless and provided all the amenities needed for a longer stay. It was better than what we expected. Very comfortable bed. Fully equipped kitchen. Just a short drive north of Hilo.

We had a fantastic time in the SeaBreeze Cottage. Randall was a nice host who provided us with a lot of useful information about the area. The house is a bit off the grid, but it was very easy to find with the directions that Randall sent us. The home itself is new and beautiful. Everything was very clean. We highly recommend this place!

Everything was great.

Just got home from our stay at the Sea Breeze Cottage and LOVED IT! The location is great, maybe 10 miles from downtown Hilo. The house is perfect for a family or couples. Very clean and well maintained. We loved the Low Store and their family. Always friendly and informative! We'll be back, but for longer. Thanks Randall, your place was just what our family needed.

Muchas gracias por la bienvenida en vuestra casa! Habeis sido muy agradables, haciendonos sentir como en nuestro hogar en medio de la isla! La habitación es muy agradable, y todo estaba perfectamente limpio. El desayuno increible! Ademas, la casa esta cerca de Hilo, aunque hace falta tener un coche de alquiler para llegar. La localizacion es perfecta para visitar las cataratas en esta parte de la isla. Thank you very much for your welcoming us at your place, you have both been really friendly and made us feel like home in the Big Island !!! The room itself is really nice, all the facilities where really clean and nice. Delicious breakfast! The house is very close to Hilo, although a car is needed to reach the place. The location is very convenient to visit the waterfalls on that part of the island.

My girlfriend and I had a lovely time staying with Kelly and Roy! They made us feel nice and welcome and took us on a tour to a night market on our first night there. The house is big and clean and the daily breakfast was great! Great value for money, thanks again for having us guys!

Kelly and Roy were great hosts! The listing was at a convenient location with a nice view. The house was clean and nicely furnished and decorated. You can tell that the hosts really paid attention to the details. Kelly also prepared breakfast every morning with a variety of delicious items. You won't regret staying here!

Kelly and Roy were absolutely incredible! Seriously, they went WAY beyond what was expected! They were extremely friendly and made us feel so welcome. Their place is sooooo beautiful! The location is awesome and their view from the lenai (deck) is beautiful. We woke up to a wonderful breakfast and a gorgeous sunrise with beautiful palms swaying in the wind. Kelly as put a ton of cute little touches that made it feel like we were in a hotel! By far the best AirBnB experience we have ever had!!!!

Staying with Kelly & Roy was one of the highlights of our trip. Such lovely & embracing couple and they had so much consideration for their guest. From the first moment, we felt like we are meeting friends. For all airbnb folks, if you thinking to stay near Hilo, don't miss this place. Its perfectly located from all attractions and the house itself is so beautiful. Thanks again to Kelly & Roy.

Thank you so much, Kelly and Roy! Friendly and accommodating, they had great suggestions for in and around Hilo, and their place is lovely. Breakfast hit the spot, and the fruit stand just down the road was a treat.

I loved staying here! The space was very clean and is nicely situated in a quiet spot. Everything was just as it looks in the pictures and the breakfast was perfect. Kelly and Rob were making me feel welcome. Great place, great host. Thank you for having me!

Excellent place to relax and have fun. We stayed a week for our family vacation (13 of us) and had a memorable time. Especially my son and new fiance, he proposed right there on the property. Everyone loved the house, the front porch with the views of the property, each of the bedrooms with a private lanai's and some with the ocean views. We would go back over and over again. It's just a few minutes out of Hilo. We went to the Botanical Gardens near the house, Farmer's Market, Ice Pond, found some beach glass on the rocks in Hilo, and had a great lunch at Lucy's. And went to the kid friendly Onekahakaha Beach Park that the waves were blocked for the kids to swim. The house is fabulous and Steve was wonderful. He came as soon as we arrived and explained everything we needed to know. Thank you for a great vacation. Tina and Family

7 bedrooms, 7 king beds, 7 private bathrooms, a large dining room table, 2 refrigerators and only 11 minutes away from downtown Hilo on an easy-to-drive, uncluttered main road! The house is spacious, the rooms huge and very clean. The grounds are well-kept and the privacy a real treat (a house on 26 acres)! This was a wonderful place for 7 of us to celebrate our birthdays together. We spent most of our 4 days at the house, talking and eating. The air conditioners in some rooms were enough to cool down the whole floor; the overhead fans in every room circulated the AC well. We found the ACs and fans necessary as the Big Island has been very humid and muggy for the last 2 weeks. We came with paper goods and supplies to make life easier. The plates, bowls and utensils there were enough to address our needs; a larger group may want more. The amenities of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, washing machine detergent, dishwashing soap were appreciated. Our host, Steve, is a true professional. Quick to answer in depth on email, he allowed me to visit the property ahead of time. At check-in, he met us at the house and showed us around. When we couldn’t get the TVs to work, he was at our doorstep within minutes and stayed for 30 minutes trying to get the satellite feed corrected (unfortunately, it wasn’t corrected but not for lack of his effort). He is definitely an asset. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again! Thank you, Steve!

GREAT find of a house. We loved that it was a bit out of the way yet still close enough and a convenient jumping off spot for all of the places we wanted to see on the island. My group LOVED that everyone had their own bedroom with private bathroom. It felt like we got the best of both worlds, the privacy you get with a hotel along with the communal aspect of sharing a house with friends. The property itself was beautiful to wander around, the pictures don't do it justice. Would definitely come back to stay and will definitely recommend to friends. The hosts made it clear they were available if needed, but we didn't have any issues while staying there. All in all great experience.

Steve met our group of 11 seniors who were having a mini reunion in Hawaii. He was very detailed in his explanation of what we needed to do to lock up, use the air conditioners, kitchen etc., get some fresh vegetables. The house has 7 bedroom suites which were all spectacular and comfortable. The dining table sat all of us comfortably for our meals. We even got a whole load of fresh vegetables for free after we made our request to the resident farmer. The house was located not too far from the airport, botanical garden and other points of interest. Steve made himself accessible to us and addressed little issues that we raised immediately.

We had a great experience. The house was spacious and looked just like the photos. We loved the scenery and sounds of the water flowing below. Steve was an awesome host. We will definitely stay here again. Mahalo Steve!

Julie and Steve's property was a dream come true for our group of 14. Steve was very responsive to all of our questions and the property was stunning!

We loved that our large 'ohana could stay at one place to eat, enjoy and sleep comfortably. Beds were very comfortable and it was awesome having a full bathroom in each room. Steve was always available if we had questions or concerns. There were extra linens and towels in the linen closet since there wasn't enough in the bathrooms. We found broken towel bars and a leaking sink (under) but had no problems notifying Steve with these issues. Bring your own beach towels since there's a $40 charged for any bath towels that get soiled by outdoor use or makeup. All in all, beautifully decorated and landscaped home and property. Mahalo Steve!!!

I had a really fun time here.It was so beautiful and sometimes very quiet. It was a great trip!

Bob and Kady met us on arrival with fresh eggs, fruits from their orchard and lots of helpful information. The cottage was fresh, comfortable, and well equipped. We would stay there again.

Bob and Kady were professional from start to departure. They responded to our request to stay very promptly. We were given concise directions to the property. Upon arrival, they met us and showed us around their one bedroom guest house. Everything was clean and orderly. The roughly 500 square foot guest house was bright, comfortable, and inviting. We felt immediately at home. The owners live on the same property in the main house about 30 yards away. Their place is set on six acres that are almost manicured. A property to be enjoyed, and honestly, envied. The lower end to the east has a creek that runs through the property. They built a small deck to sit and enjoy the privacy, sight and sound of the running creek. If you don't care to wander down to the creek, even though I highly recommend you do, you can always just sit outside on your own personal fenced in patio. If you want to BBQ, they do have a big gas BBQ on the patio. On the inside there is a living room and kitchen, nothing extravagant but everything is new and boasts an island feel. Heads up, there is no oven/stove in the kitchen. They do have that BBQ on the patio and they also have a single burner induction type cooker. It is very effective. The bed was queen size bed that was cute and comfortable. The rest of the bedroom was simple, but clean. There were two small tables on each side of the bed each with a small lamp, and a tall chest of drawers for your personal belongings. We felt good about using the drawers, very clean; no dust build up. from there you go into the bathroom. I have remodeled a few houses here on the islands and a little work on the mainland as well, Bob did a great job building this bathroom. The entire guest house for that matter, but the bathroom stood out. The shower is huge, with a great shower head, but that is not the highlight. The shower floor is made out of colored glass used like tile. You would have to see it to fully appreciate it, but I'm telling you the whole bathroom is great. Bob and Kady were there for what ever we needed but they were not intrusive. They left us alone to do our thing. They spent time outside working on the yard and doing what home owners do. They did bring us some fresh fruit grown on their property upon arrival, and some fresh eggs from their five chickens they keep on the lower end of the property. They also have a very loving and energetic dog, Australian Shepard I think, Lilly. Lilly loves to play frisby and greet you in the morning. She is a very well behaved dog. We will most definitely stay her again when visiting Hilo town on the Big Island. Johnross and Kimberly

Bob and Cady were awesome! They greeted us with fresh fruit and eggs and we're attentive to any needs we had. The struck a great balance of allowing us privacy while being there for us. They also had great recommendations on activities on the island to do...some that we didn't find during research before arrival.

Bob & Kady were super nice and friendly. We felt very welcome from the beginning and the welcome basket with fresh fruits and eggs was great. The suite was very nice and in a very good condition (everything was clean and working). It definitely was the best location of our Hawaii travel. We will come back!

Bob and Kady are great hosts. They have a lovely place which is very clean and cosy. We were lucky to be there on a clear day so we had amazing views of the ocean and the Mauna Kea summit. The place is located conveniently close to Hilo but away from busy streets, which was awesome. We could enjoy the silence and the star lit sky. Overall great experience!

We really enjoyed our visit. Kimberly and our hosts Bob & Kady were very friendly, welcoming, helpful and gracious. The description of the cottage was accurate. It is a beautiful place that had plenty of room for the 2 of us ~ small kitchen/dining area, living room with TV and separate bedroom with bath ~ all very nicely decorated (fairly new building) and clean. We felt very welcome. The grounds were green with papaya, avocado, and lime trees. Free range chickens, birds singing and a "free range" dog, Lilly ~ who was also an excellent hostess and well behaved. Enjoyed fresh eggs, papayas and limes.

Bob & Kady have a wonderful ohana. It was very clean, with an updated/remodeled feel. Bed was a double size I believe, but large enough and comfortable. Value is very good for the area, and we felt like locals during our stay. We would definitely return if staying on the Hilo side of the island again.

We were greeted shortly after arrival and given a tour of the property. The property is beautiful as is the surrounding neighborhood. We were welcomed to harvest and enjoy the bounty from the orchard. We spent time walking around and exploring the neighborhood. Except for the sounds of nature, it was peaceful and quiet. Lily was quite the joy. Hilo was close by and if we were to visit again, we would stay at the Ocean View Couple's Cottage again!

My family and I stayed at this wonderful house for 3 weeks in December. We have 3 small kids and could not have had a better experience! The house has a lot of sunlight, is very clean and in great condition and is situated on a beautiful, huge backyard with sheep and chicken. Our young kids had a blast feeding them fruits and leftovers. Hanna, the property manager, was very easy to get ahold of, flexible and responsive to all of our questions and requests. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She bought my daughter a few Hawaii coloring books as well as a Hawaii guidebook for us to use. It is a secluded property which is what we wanted - Hilo is a 15 minute drive away - and the perfect getaway from the hustle bustle of the daily grind! We were about a 15-20 minute from a few beautiful waterfalls and a 1 hour drive away from Volcano National Park. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and hope to return one day! Thank you for an amazing trip!

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our hosts were very nice people. They gave us items from their farm such as goat milk for coffee, fresh eggs and sweet pineapple. Their property was very beautiful, especially the view of the flowing stream from the balcony.

Hammock cabana lived up to expectations. They were clean, insect-proof, and had a nice supply of blankets for warmth during the night. The cabana is located in a beautiful earthy location, a stone's throw away from Akaka Falls. The wifi signal was weak and limited to the household.

Staying at the cabanas was fun! Pure nature around you, fun sleeping in hammocks. Thank you!
